Chapter 954: Old Accounts Fill in New Accounts
Just looking at Avgerle's reaction, Shao Xi had already guessed who the person who came out with Bushra was.
If you look closely at the person who is the leader of the five, you can recognize this person at a glance as the leader of the Black Hawk Gang, Black Hawk.
Shao Xi didn't know if Black Eagle was his name or his nickname, but judging from his appearance, he was not an exaggeration to call him Black Hawk.
This person's long face like a knife can be seen from the deep eye sockets and the high bridge of the nose to be from the Western Regions, but the eyes are like eagle falcons, and the gaze is fierce and sharp.
With a big hooked nose, short lips and thin lips, a pointed jaw, and his dark skin and slightly upturned beard, the whole person looked like a black eagle standing in front of him.
With such a bizarre appearance, it is extremely eye-catching anywhere.
As for the four people who followed him, they were all fierce and vicious, all of them were big men with fleshy faces, beards, and strong physiques.
Each of them was dressed in leather armor and had a scimitar at their waists, and if they guessed correctly, they were probably the four sworn brothers of Black Hawk.
As soon as these people walked out with Bushra, the original noisy noise of the entire gambling house disappeared in an instant, and it became silent in an instant.
It's as if if someone accidentally makes a noise, their head will fall to the ground at any time.
It can be seen that this Black Eagle Gang is really famous in Loulan City, and everyone is afraid of it, otherwise the gamblers in the gambling house would not be so silent at this time.
The black hawk held the black knife hanging from his waist, and followed Bushra to the gambling table, and one of the four behind him also pulled a stool, and the black hawk sat on it without even looking at it.
He stared at Shao Xi sitting in front of him with a pair of eagle eyes, he didn't even look at Shao Xi at all, he just stared at Shao Xi's face.
Ordinary people will be stared at by such a person, and they will feel uncomfortable in a few seconds, and even want to dodge, but Shao Xi is the opposite.
He just looked at Black Eagle with a smile on his face, and there was no trace of killing intent in Shao Xi's eyes, but it was full of contempt and disdain.
This kind of look made Black Eagle very unhappy, and no one in the entire Loulan City dared to look at him like this.
But at this time, he still didn't say a word, and he looked at Shao Xi like this, as if he wanted to kill the other party with his eyes.
At this time, Bushra politely saluted Shao Xi and said: "The results of the Royal Horse Race have come out, and I lost the bet you made with me."
"Although I am unwilling, I have been doing this business in this Loulan City for so many years, and I have always been willing to gamble and lose, and I will never pay my debts.
"It's just that the amount of money that needs to be paid for the gambling contract between you and me this time is too much, I wonder if I can be accommodating and allow me some time to raise money?"
In fact, Bushra has said this very politely, and he has not expressed his desire to deny this gamble.
That's 185,800 gold, and it's hard for anyone to come up with so much money in one day, and it stands to reason that Bushla's request is not excessive.
Even if it is because of arrears, it is reasonable to collect some interest every day, so Bushra's expression is very relaxed when he says this.
Although it was obvious that he was just pretending to be relaxed, it could be seen from his expression that he was quite confident in his request.
Maybe for him, it is indeed unwilling to lose such a large amount of money, but for his own request, it seems that Shao Xi will definitely agree.
This kind of faith comes from human nature, and even more so from the people who sit behind him.
To put it bluntly, he didn't intend to repay the debt, but he also thought that Shao Xi had to agree to this request of accommodating time.
If Shao Xi is really unreasonable and forces him to repay his gambling debts immediately, the black eagle behind him is his biggest reliance.
He believed that with Black Eagle's fame and status in Loulan City, it was enough to force Shao Xi to agree to this request.
According to common sense, such a reasonable request is embarrassing to refuse no matter who it is.
The point is that Bushra did not say that he wanted to rely on the money he should pay, he just hoped that he could accommodate some time to raise money, although he could not cash out all the money immediately, but at least he did not mean to deny it verbally.
Perhaps his request was just an excuse for delay, and he might have planned to put off his gambling debts all the way and didn't want to pay them, but with such a large sum of money as 185,800 gold, there was no reason for anyone to force him to settle it on the same day.
So whether or not Bushra intends to repay this gambling debt in the future, the average person has to respond to this seemingly reasonable request.
In everyone's opinion, Shao Xi has no reason to refuse Bushra, not to mention that at this time, Bushra is sitting behind Black Hawk.
Shao Xi doesn't know if Black Eagle is here today, is it because Bush Raja specially came to support him, or is it really a coincidence?
However, Shao Xi believes that the former is more likely.
After Bushra knew that he had lost such a large sum of money, he would definitely be jealous and wary of Shao Xi, a person he didn't know the details.
Although there is still the Black Eagle Gang as his support in Loulan City, Shao Xi, as a native of the Central Plains who came from afar, dared to bet on him so much, and he bet on the wins and losses of all the horse races at all.
This had to attract the attention of Bushra, so it is not surprising that he brought in the Black Hawk to help himself, just in case.
The appearance and existence of the Black Eagle may be a kind of oppression and intimidation for others, but it is a surprise and harvest for Shao Xi.
Originally, he wanted to force Black Hawk to show up by pressuring Bushra, so that he would not have to go to the Black Hawk Gang to find Black Hawk in person.
At this time, the Black Hawk appeared in front of him by himself, which saved him from even putting pressure on Bushra.
Since Black Hawk and Bushra are in front of him at this moment, the next thing is simple, just take this opportunity to settle the gambling debts that Bushra owes him and the accounts of the year.
Originally, he came to make things stiff, so Shao Xi not only didn't care about the existence of Black Eagle, but also wouldn't agree to Bushra's request.
"I'm here to collect gambling money today, isn't this a gambling house? Isn't the gambling house always paying attention to buying and leaving, winning or losing?
"What you owe me is not an ordinary debt, but a gambling debt, you are the shopkeeper of the gambling house, if you don't have the ability to pay the gambling money, don't accept the bets placed by the gamblers, when I bet, you promised to pay the money immediately, the score is exactly the same.
"When I placed my bets, I handed over you all the real gold, you didn't say that I could owe it, and now you should pay for the bets I won, why did you say that you are accommodating again?"
When Shao Xi said this, he didn't even glance at Bushra, but continued to stare at the black eagle in front of him intently.
It was as if the two were playing a game of who blinked first, staring at each other's eyes as if whoever looked away first would lose.
Originally, Bushra thought that he had politely discussed with Shao Xi, and Shao Xi, as an outsider from afar, would give him face as a local snake.
What's more, he had lied that he was Avgerle before, and he had a relationship with Shao Xi, so it stands to reason that Shao Xi should politely agree to his request.
For the sake of insurance, he also specially invited the five Black Eagle brothers to the gambling house, thinking that even if Shao Xi didn't look at his face, he would give the leader of the Black Eagle Gang a little face.
But he didn't expect Shao Xi to turn his face so quickly, showing no mercy to him.
Although there is no father and son in the casino, the two sides have the heaviest commitment to betting, and no matter what kind of relationship there is in front of gambling, there is no affection to talk about.
But Shao Xi scolded him back so cleanly and happily in front of all the gamblers and the Black Eagle brothers in the gambling house, which really made his face a little unbearable.
As the shopkeeper of the gambling house, it is said that he should abide by the rules of the gambling house, and it is natural to lose money if he loses, and what Shao Xi just said is reasonable.
When Shao Xi placed his bet, at his request, he actually brought a box of gold, and he did not complain because the silver ticket in the Central Plains could not be used.
When people bet, the money is taken happily, and you are happy, but now that people have won the bet, they come to ask for the gambling money, if you as a person who opens a gambling house can not pay the gambling money in time, it is quite a shameful thing.
Not to mention how the business of this gambling house will continue in the future, even if the gambling house is lost to Shao Xi this time, if he can't settle the gambling money in time, he won't be able to get along in this Loulan City in the future.
At this time, Bushla's face was full of embarrassment, and he was already dissatisfied with Shao Xi in his heart, but it was really difficult to show it.
I could only force a smile, and said to Shao Xi: "You and I have known each other for a long time, for the sake of the face of the shopkeeper back then, I hope to be accommodating, I can pay you all the gold and silver in the gambling house first, and I will definitely make up all the gold and silver owed after seven days." ”
As he spoke, he beckoned to the guys in the gambling house.
The men rushed to the room behind the gambling house, and dragged out boxes of gold and silver, more than two dozen chests.
When the boxes were opened one by one, there was a low exclamation in the gambling house.
Although those gamblers were afraid of the presence of the five brothers of the Black Eagle Gang, they didn't even dare to breathe before, but when they saw so much gold and silver, they couldn't help but sigh.
Just because these chests are full of all kinds of gold and silver, including gold bars, silver bars, gold leaves, silver leaves, and even whole boxes of gold beans and silver beans.
The gamblers present had never seen so much gold and silver in their lives, so how could they not help but exclaim?
"I have already ordered someone to count the total amount of gold and silver in the gambling house at the moment, and since the horse race has just ended, there is no time to raise more for a while.
"I will make up the remaining 152,800 gold as soon as possible, if it is still not enough, I will give you this gambling house, I don't know what to do?"
Listening to Bushra's words, the gamblers in the gambling house couldn't help but let out another exclamation.
They didn't know that there was such a big gambling contract between Bushra and Shao Xi, and 33,000 gold was just a fraction, and the two sides actually gambled more than 100,000 gold.
This is unprecedented in the entire Loulan City!
In fact, all this that Bushra did at this time was just discussed with Black Hawk before, and the gold and silver were deliberately pulled out for the gamblers in the gambling house to see.
Losing 185,800 gold in a gambling game, how could they be willing to hand over such a huge fortune to Shao Xi?
Their plan was to show the gold and silver in public and pay it to Shao Xi, and then they would take care of Shao Xi and the others when they turned around, and snatch back the gold and silver that had been lost.
On the surface, it seems that for the sake of the reputation of the gambling house, Bushla will keep his promise even if he goes bankrupt, but in fact, he is making a name for himself in Loulan City and attracting more gamblers for the future business of the gambling house.
but behind his back, he will kill people and rob money, and get back the gold and silver that he has lost.
To put it bluntly, they are still the essence of robbers, on the surface they keep their promises, but in fact they are secretly doing despicable things.
That's why at this moment, Bushra endured the hatred in his heart, accompanied the smiling face and Shao Xi, all of which was done for others to see.
Maybe Shao Xi didn't see it, or maybe Shao Xi didn't care at all, because he didn't come to ask for money in the first place, he came to kill him.
However, Lao Wu, who was standing behind Shao Xi, saw all this clearly.
He knew that even if Shao Xi didn't go to the other party's trouble today, I was afraid that these gold and silver opponents would not easily let them take them away from Loulan City.
In this case, it seems that a war between the two sides is inevitable, and it will come sooner or later, if not today.
Shao Xi didn't even glance at the boxes of gold and silver on the ground, his eyes were still staring at the black eagle in front of him without saying a word.
"Bushra, what face do you have in front of me? You think I don't know what you all did?
"Do you think that if you pretend not to know the existence of those two cheats, I don't know what you've been looking for all these years? Do you think you can fool me by lying in front of me?
"If you can't pay off the gambling account you owe me today, then use your account back then to fill it!"
As soon as Shao Xi said this, Bushla's whole body suddenly stiffened, and the eyes of the black eagle sitting opposite Shao Xi also showed an instant disengagement and flickering.
They probably didn't expect Shao Xi to be so clear about their details and what they did back then.
It seems that he also realized that the real purpose of Shao Xi's coming today was not to ask for gambling money, but to plan to deal with them from the beginning.
Originally, they were still thinking about calculating Shao Xi, but they didn't expect that the person who was being calculated at this moment was actually themselves.
Bushra unconsciously turned his head to look at the Black Hawk behind him.
At this time, the black eagle's eyes had recovered from the wandering and flickering just now, and turned to be gloomy and ruthless.
"Bushra, clear the field!"
Black Eagle's eyes were still staring intently at Shao Xi in front of him, and he said this in a low voice.
